Museum of Contemporary Arts in La Jolla Review. The MCASD in La Jolla is a beautiful location to have a wedding reception. The coordinators and staff were very helpful. The scenery alone cannot be beat, ocean front and view is fabulous.
What is sorbet? Sorbet is a fruity frozen dessert that was invented before ice cream but tastes like it (minus the dairy). It has a soft texture and is made from fruit juice or purÃ©e that is mixed with a sugar syrup and sometimes alchohol. Italian meringue may be added to sorbet to enhance its volume.
Dr. Gourmet Says... The difference between sorbet and sherbet is that sherbets contain milk or another fat making it similar to ice cream. Generally thought of as being fruit based, sorbets can be made with any ingredient. For instance, I have had wonderful chocolate sorbet as well as one made with champagne. Sorbets are technically ices and are also referred to as granitas or ices (as in Italian ice). These were probably the first iced dessert, having been invented by the Asians and then introduced to the Middle East and Italy.
